Somewhere on one of the axle nuts of your hubs is a date stamp, with this and the above info you could eliminate half of the above. Also, I know there are a couple of differences between the Chorus and Athena units in that the spacers on the rear hub of the Chorus units are alloy rather than steel. Also Chorus hubs have 'S-T' impressed into the locknuts. With this, you should be able to nail it but Athena tend to be the most common. Don't go by eBay as anyone wioth a hub that looks like this tends to sell them as a Chorus to maximise profits.

Well, I'll never cease to be amazed at the knowledge on this forum, its brilliant

I'm drawing a blank with a date or S-T, I can't see anything. I've taken off the freewheel and the spacers are alloy. On that basis they would be Chorus?

OK, according to Velobase "Later Chorus has the word 'Chorus' etched into the barrel, under the winged wheel. Earlier ones can be distinguished from lesser ranges (Veloce, Mirage, Centaur etc.) by flat dust-caps, as opposed to domed ones. Also Chorus hubs have 'S-T' impressed into the locknuts [the same marking is found on the hub barrels of early Record]. Not sure what this implies. But Chorus DOESN'T share Record's forged and through-hardened hub cups. So it's not clear how - functionally - Chorus are any better than the cheaper ranges."

Could still be Triomphe/Victory so a way of dating would be useful. What rims did they come with.
